  • Resource Allocation and Peasant Decision Making: Oakington, Cambridgeshire, 1360–99*
    Resource allocation and peasant decision making: Oakington, Cambridgeshire, 1360–99* resource allocation and peasant decision making by Alexandra Sapoznik Abstract The later fourteenth century is often considered a period of rising standards of living, attributed in part to falling grain prices and diminished population pressure in the aftermath of the Black Death. Yet data from Oakington, Cambridgeshire, obtained from unusually complete tithe accounts, suggests that smallholding peasants in this region remained constrained by competing needs of production and consumption, even at the end of the fourteenth century. This article examines resource allocation and decision making on peasant land, and considers the effects of falling grain prices on standards of living in a region dependent on arable husbandry. By modelling a hypothetical peasant holding, this article argues that peasants at Oakington prized stability of yield, flexibility of crop use, and the calorific value of the land for people and, crucially, livestock. This allowed peasants to meet their consumption and contractual needs, but hindered their ability to respond quickly to changing economic circumstances. The decades after the Black Death are often considered a turning point in the nature and organization of land use and agricultural production.1 As the population continued to decline, the pressure placed on landed resources eased. In many places falling population levels led to increased access to land per person or household, and an increase in the amount of agricultural output available to peasants. Food production was put to less calorie-intensive purposes, with more land given over to growing grains for brewing to meet the rising demand for ale, and arable converted to grass to raise livestock for meat and dairy produce.2 As labour became scarce, wages rose, increasing the amount of money to which people had access.

  • Going for Gold – the South Cambridgeshire Story
    Going for gold The South Cambridgeshire story Written by Kevin Wilkins March 2019 Going for gold Foreword Local government is the backbone of our party, and from Cornwall to Eastleigh, Eastbourne to South Lakeland, with directly elected Mayors in Bedford and Watford, Liberal Democrats are making a real difference in councils across the country. So I was delighted to be asked to write this foreword for one of the latest to join that group of Liberal Democrat Jo Swinson MP CBE councils, South Cambridgeshire. Deputy Leader Liberal Democrats Every council is different, and their story is individual to them. It’s important that we learn what works and what doesn’t, and always be willing to tell our story so others can learn. Good practice booklets like this one produced by South Cambridgeshire Liberal Democrats and the Liberal Democrat Group at the Local Government Association are tremendously useful. 2 This guide joins a long list of publications that they have produced promoting the successes of our local government base in places as varied as Liverpool, Watford and, more recently, Bedford. Encouraging more women to stand for public office is a campaign I hold close to my heart. It is wonderful to see a group of 30 Liberal Democrat councillors led by Councillor Bridget Smith, a worthy addition to a growing number of Liberal Democrat women group and council leaders such as Councillor Liz Green (Kingston Upon Thames), Councillor Sara Bedford (Three Rivers) Councillor Val Keitch (South Somerset), Councillor Ruth Dombey (Sutton), and Councillor Aileen Morton (Argyll and Bute) South Cambridgeshire Liberal Democrats are leading the way in embedding nature capital into all of their operations, policies and partnerships, focusing on meeting the housing needs of all their residents, and in dramatically raising the bar for local government involvement in regional economic development.
